Thanks for giving this a try with Clonezilla! It may be easier to take drive out of the machine (A) and hook it up to another CD boot-able machine (B0 as a USB drive. Just remember not to use A's OS drive as a regular USB drive, I've seen that cause problems. If you do go that way backing up important files first is likely a very good idea, if it's possible!?
Out of curiosity, what kind of machine is it? Others may have experience with your situation.
Alternately, what about network connectivity/capabilities, could you do a net boot?
Keep us posted, thanks!

This is a 1996-1998 laptop. The bios doesn't support PXE booting… It's a Toshiba Libretto 100CT… overclocked to 266MHz … Pentium 1, 64 or 96MB RAM (can't remember)… with 4 or 6 or 8 GB HD…

Just wondering how one can run this program on a laptop with no USB nor CD-ROM drive but do have floppy disk drive booting.

Yes, I was hoping for a pre-built Clonezilla on a floppy solution … in the past there must've been floppy sized imaging programs!

You can put gPXE/etherboot (http://www.etherboot.org) on a floopy, then boot that and you will be able to connect to a PXE server.
